On the use of Silver Standard Data for Zero-shot Classification Tasks in Information Extraction
The superior performance of supervised classification methods in the information extraction (IE) area heavily relies on a large amount of gold standard data. Recent zero-shot classification methods converted the task to other NLP tasks (e.g., textual entailment) and used off-the-shelf models of these NLP tasks to directly perform inference on the test data without using a large amount of IE annotation data. A potentially valuable by-product of these methods is the large-scale silver standard da…

IterCQR: Iterative Conversational Query Reformulation with Retrieval Guidance
Conversational search aims to retrieve passages containing essential information to answer queries in a multi-turn conversation. In conversational search, reformulating context-dependent conversational queries into stand-alone forms is imperative to effectively utilize off-the-shelf retrievers. Previous methodologies for conversational query reformulation frequently depend on human-annotated rewrites. However, these manually crafted queries often result in sub-optimal retrieval performance and …

Primary liver cancer classification from routine tumour biopsy using weakly supervised deep learning
The diagnosis of primary liver cancers (PLCs) can be challenging, especially on biopsies and for combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA). We automatically classified PLCs on routine-stained biopsies using a weakly supervised learning method. Weak tumour/non-tumour annotations served as labels for training a Resnet18 neural network, and the network's last convolutional layer was used to extract new tumour tile features. Without knowledge of the precise labels of the malignancies, w…

I still think the letters CDC stand for Control Data Corporation rather than Centers for Disease Control.
I'm antediluvian.

BigGait: Learning Gait Representation You Want by Large Vision Models
Gait recognition stands as one of the most pivotal remote identification technologies and progressively expands across research and industrial communities. However, existing gait recognition methods heavily rely on task-specific upstream driven by supervised learning to provide explicit gait representations, which inevitably introduce expensive annotation costs and potentially cause cumulative errors. Escaping from this trend, this work explores effective gait representations based on the all-p…

Kun näitä hengenvaarallisia jäätiköitä on jalkakäytävillä jatkuvasti, on kuulemma teoria, että jos satanut lumi heti kolattaisiin pois, jäätiköitä ei syntyisi niin vaarallisina, ja jäännösjää sulaisi nopeammin pois.
Vertailuna siis koneellinen lumenpoisto sitten, kun on ihan pakko, mikä on ilmeisesti yleinen käytäntö. Uudistus saattaisi joskus edellyttää uutta kiinteistön tehtävää, "talonhenkilöä". Se voisi olla yksi uusi ammatti, kun nyt paljon puhutaan siitä, miten ammatit…

Stoltenberg: Trump-Äußerung "untergräbt unsere Sicherheit"
NATO-Generalsekretär Jens Stoltenberg hat die Äußerungen von Ex-US-Präsident Donald Trump, im Falle einer Wiederwahl säumige NATO-Bündnispartner nicht zu verteidigen, scharf kritisiert: "Jede Andeutung, dass Verbündete sich nicht verteidigen werden, untergräbt unsere gesamte Sicherheit, einschließlich der der Vereinigten Staaten, und setzt US…
